Wonderful, great for late night ferry arrivals
We checked in just as the clock turned 11pm (it took all that time to get through passport control off the ferry), and thankfully the reception was still open. The man who welcomed us spoke good enough English, but allowed me to speak bad French to him! We parked in the municipal carpark opposite, which is free at that time of night, until 9am. We had to pay visitor's tax for all our party (not just the adults, as Hotels.com states), but it's only 90 cents per person. Our triple room was up two flights of quite easy stairs, and was delightful. Because of the layout, we had quite a lot of space for our bags. The room was presented beautifully, and was really clean and welcoming. It was double aspect, and had views of the lighthouse, ferry, and canal; despite this, it wasn't noisy in the morning. The shower room was very small, so this wouldn't be the room for you if you are of a larger size! We didn't eat at the hotel, as I favour the boulangerie in town for a first day's breakfast. We enjoyed our stay, and I'd absolutely stay here again in the future. I'd like to stay for longer.

A dangerous shower. Controls broken. Clearly damp with plaster peeling off the walls. A window that is broken and cannot be closed so you have to endure the noise of the HGVs heading to the Port. Horrible.

Dreadful service I chose the hotel for its convenience and the fact that twenty years ago I enjoyed a good meal there. How times have changed. The owner was surly and unpleasant. We were not made to feel welcome. The service at the bars was awful and we chose not to use ut after the first twenty-minute wait for someone to ask us what we wanted. The room was big enough but the facilities were primitive. A paper cup in the bathroom and just a bar of soap and a sachet of shampoo allied to the kind of toilet paper we used in the 1960s was not good. There were no coffee-making facilities. The rooms were up a steep and narrow staircase and as the doors all slammed it made for a noisy awakening at 6 am. Not what you want on a holiday.The room was not made up for 36 hours after we arrived. This was my worst hotel experience in the last twenty-five years. There are other hotels which are just as convenient in Outistreham. I would read the reviews for them and then decide.
